After initial masking I go back over everything with a fine tooth comb by using a magnifying glass to inspect for errors. And I have found lots of errors. All methods of masking have a multitude of ways of introducing errors.
Here, the bottom left corner is pretty sloppy and needs to be redone.
For this spot I'll project an image directly onto the surface to apply latex where it needs to go using a toothpick. It's tedious and time consuming but allows for much finer detail. And this helmet has quite a lot of fine detail. It's actually surprising how much.
The main drawback of using projection is you block the light right as you apply anything to the surface but if you pick the right view angle the difficulty can be minimized.
